I just had a little adventure with Google-earth (I sure wish they would standardize their spelling.) I tried to start it by clicking on the icon after not using it for several weeks--nothing. I tried as another user -- nothing. I tried starting from a terminal in /opt and got a message that it could not find libcrypto.so.0.9.8b ( note the trailing b) Locate said I did not have such a file, but had one without the b. I fooled around a while trying to get a version with the b and finally did -- then it couldn't find another libsomething.so. I looked at where the libcrypto came from and it was ssh, I believe. Then I started to worry about having two googleearth setups, one in /home/"user" and one in /opt. I went to a root gui and clicked on the googleearth icon. It came up and said there was anupdate available. I downloaded that and all is well. I an still on fc7 and using nvidia-96xx with no apparent problems. I know this is different from the troubles on this thread, but thought it worth reporting.
